Prince George, B.C. – Those looking for some great eats in support of an important cause will want to head over to Integris Credit Union at 5^th and Central today.

Staff members have been busy serving up breakfast since 8:00 this morning and will continue on with a barbecue lunch starting at 11:30.

“So we’re having a community celebration for the Cops for Cancer Tour de North,” says communications officer Cori Ramsay. “We’re hoping to raise some funds for them. It’s a great cause. We’ve got a community rider on the team so we’re really pleased to be supporting this.”

“The Cops for Cancer is something I’ve been aware of for a number of years and when I joined Integris Credit Union three years ago I became aware of the fact that Integris was a significant sponsor of the tour and I’m always looking for a challenge and I try to be somewhat fit and I thought it was a pretty good mix,” says financial planner and rider Martin Hooke who’s joined the tour for a second straight year.

“It’s an incredible cause – all the money raised is going towards pediatric cancer care and research with 20 percent of the money going towards Camp Goodtimes which is a camp specifically for children who are fighting cancer.”

Along with lunch, attendees can also expect to hear some live music from four local artists. The barbecue will run until 2:00 this afternoon.

The 850 km Tour de North starts September 16 in Prince George and will wrap up in Prince Rupert a week later.
